Herring Gull - Larus argentatus

Canon 600mm f4 for 1/320th @ iso400
A number of Swan Mussels have become trapped in the ice of the frozen pond. The Herring Gulls and Crows spend their time either trying to remove the mussels from the ice or smashing through the shell in situ and eating the contents in situ.
